Auburn High's Danny Shelton stands out among the best linemen in the SPSL for his aggression and agility.
AUBURN — The childhood bully became a high-school teddy bear.
But Auburn's Danny Shelton is still a terror on the football field.
At 6 feet 3 and just less than 300 pounds, Shelton dominates on the line with moves like a linebacker. Opposing coaches tell stories of him swatting away blockers with one arm and his legend on the wrestling mat grew quickly as he learned the sport just last season, reaching the 4A state semifinals at 285 pounds.
Tahoma coach Tony Davis remembers watching in awe as Shelton made a catlike move in one match.
"My jaw was on the ground," Davis said. "This is someone almost 300 pounds. You're not supposed to be able to do that. ... I've got to imagine the sky's the limit for him. He's a scheme-adjuster. Whether he's on offense or defense, you've got to locate him and then do something different than you probably want to do.
